Staten Island Activist To Protest New MTA Toll Hike With Pennies

He’s encouraging other drivers to break out their change purses all week to stage a similar penny protest.

“I think it’ll screw up the MTA’s system a little bit, maybe a lot a bit,”

The regular E-ZPass rate for the Verrazano is now $10.66. Staten Island residents who have registered with the MTA will pay $6.36 for their first two trips over the Verrazano in a month then $6.00 for all trips after that.

Tolls went up on all seven bridges and two tunnels operated by the MTA. Click here for more information on the MTA toll hikes.
